Text Document gone from NEW menu?!

Hi there,

Just got a little issue and need a registry-wizard to help me out.

My right-click > New menu used to let me create a new folder, shortcut, bitmap or text document. Just lately the text document option has vanished.

I've gone to regedit > HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > .txt > and checked that ShellNew is there. It was, along with a PersistantHandler folder.

I also created a new ShellNew, just in case, with a NullFile string value.

The option for a new text document is still missing, so I'm out of ideas.

Can anybody tell me how to fix this?

Thanks!

Marko

Download tweakui (an unsupported program created by Microsoft): http://personal.ryantadams.com/2007...

After it is installed, run TweakUI. On the left you will see "templates". Click that an you can edit the menu you are talking about.

WARNING! Don't try TweakUI as we once thought it would work in Vista Compatibility Mode. Read the article below.

Ooookay ... I've decided not to download TweakUI. Anybody know any registry tweaks that might work?
